Uke Bass Bass-ics

Milo will teach the basics of the bass, including sample bass lines, basic technique, and the notes of the fingerboard, so that you can start playing with a group as soon as possible! Beginning 'uke bass players and curious 'ukulele players are all welcome and wanted to come and play both 'ukulele and 'uke bass.

A limited number of base 'ukes will be available for loan/purchase at the Soiree. More details coming!

Skill Levels

Beginner: A student at this level is brand-new to the ukulele. He/she has perhaps learned one to three chords but stops in-between chord changes to move the fingers to the next location.

Advanced/Confident Beginner: A student at this level knows a handful of chords and can move from one chord to another without pausing. Student may have trouble with, say, the B-flat chord shape. Student has learned a strum or two and/or a finger pattern for picking.

Intermediate: A student can hold a steady rhythm and is competent with a variety of basic chords. Understands simple chord progressions, can sing and strum at the same time, and learns chords to simple tunes fairly quickly.

Advanced: A student at this level can hear I, IV, and V chords, has mastered some chord inversions, knows there is life above the fifth fret, and has been there with barre or 4-fingered closed chords. Plays lead and backup easily with others and keeps steady rhythm.
